Change the date of IIFT 2017 Exam

CAT exam is taken by approximately 200,000 MBA aspirants every year whereas the IIFT Entrance Exam is attempted by approximately 50,000 MBA aspirants every year. There is a large overlap in these two sets and it would not be unfair to say that approximately 90% of those who attempt the IIFT exam also attempt the CAT exam.

This year, CAT 2017 exam and IIFT 2017 are scheduled on the same day - 26th November. It would be impossible for an MBA aspirant to attempt both these exams on the same day. It would be unfair to deprive students of the opportunity to apply for both these exams.

We at HandaKaFunda teach approximately 5000 MBA aspirants every year. When the CAT 2017 exam notification was released couple of days ago, we got numerous calls and emails from worried students about what can be done. To be honest, we were dumbfounded and did not have a good answer to give them.

There is nothing much that we could do. So, we thought we would start a petition and hopefully the powers that be would take notice of the situation and change the date of the IIFT 2017 exam.

I hope they listen to our plea.

I hope they listen to the plea of the 50000+ students who dream of going to a good business school.
